@juancasini I agree with your experience. So I tell my team to save it often. Don't think about it. Just press Control+S once a minute.... Delays and heavy workflow are such important issues, so why adobe aren't the plans announced yet?   @si24781306tbj5  2014 is also a good choice. As you say, using the old version is the smartest solution. However, We have to think of two things. 1. Why should we use the old version? Then why do we pay for the current version? 2. People who belong to companies that are eligible for the Adobe License Agreement must be forced to use the new version. So if you're not an individual user, can't actually use the old version. ... View more

I have tested both HD and FHD displays and there is a problem. It's not only high-res display. In the really older version of Photoshop, there's no such problem. Also @yelm  Problem occurs regardless of Windows/Mac OS. There's nothing wrong with your Mac. ... View more

Best way is... If you belong to a company that needs to keep licenses and versions up to date, install the oldest version possible (like the 2021 version). And if you're a typical individual consumer who doesn't, write a version at least before 2019. That's the onlyway. The 2020 version is not bad, and the 2019 version is good. However, 2018, 2017, and 2015.5 are the best options for finding faster, softer, and more stable versions. If you have an old CS license, and you want to feel the maximum speed of Photoshop, which is really stable, Photoshop cs5 or Photoshop cs6 is the best choice. When I opened the image of the Hasselblad mid-sized camera in Photoshop, there was a delay in the current version of the high-performance desktop and Max Studio that I and my team were using. It's very slow. But, When I tested the same image with CS5 or CS6 version on a really old and bad laptop that I bought around 2012, there was no lag at all.    Basically what Adobe suggests is to disable or enable certain options and you've already done it. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-photoshop-23-3-is-slow-and-heavy/idi-p/12875654 I wrote the thread of the link and many people are reporting bugs about various delays. We tried many solutions from Adobe's official website, Reddit, and Facebook, but they didn't improve, and our conclusion is that the current Photoshop is broken. There is no improvement by changing your computer or changing your settings. Wait for Adobe's bug fix or use the previous version as mentioned above. I can't help it.... ... View more

@CShubert  Hi CoryShubert. As I wrote in the text, I have already tried the two solutions you suggest and have informed you that there is no improvement.(Multithreaded Compositing,GPU Compositing). I've already tried all Adobe solutions that can change the Photoshop settings. I've done everything I can myself, so I'm confident that this is a bug, and I'm asking for a bug fix like this. Looking up, there are people who go through the same phenomenon as me. Our team members are having a hard time because of the same bug. ... View more

I'm reporting two bugs. One is The hand tool moves differently. (Standard view mode vs Fullscreen mode) It feels like it's lagging. Something like hand tool operates as if the some low FPS is restricted.(When work in Stadard view mode) You can see below 1 GIF.       But if move work on Fullscreen mode(or with Menubar Fullscreen mode), it's really smooth.   My vertical synchronization option is turned off and the graphics driver is the latest Studio driver. Also, i tried some solutions. Turn off gpu/gpu comp/multithread/opencl/native canvas,ruller/reset prefs/reinstall. But it's same. FPS seems to change depending on the View mode. Can it be fixed?   And please take a look at this too. It's not a serious problem, but if you zoom in and out using the Wacom tablet, the screen shakes a little as soon as you put the pen down? It works like a bounce. The mouse ends very exactly .     I don't know if you can see this well, but look carefully at both ends of the canvas. Every time you finish zooming in, it looks like it's bouncing up a little by little. It's not a serious problem as I said, but it seems like a bug that needs fixing because the mouse doesn't work like that. (Ofcourse wacom driver is latest version, and When I zoom in with a wacom pen on purpose, I don't raise my hand shaking like that. That's just how it works.)   window10, photoshop version 23.3.2 check this issues. thanks ... View more

@cnn24501002ncqw  I don't think you read all of the thread... People (including myself) who are experiencing this delay in this thread have already tried all the solutions that Adobe offers and have come to the same conclusion. This is not a configuration Setting turn on/off or hardware issue. Defects in the current Photoshop version(23.3.2) and cannot be improved by customers who are consumers. It's something Adobe engineers have to fix. (Actually, This delay began after 2018 when a new compossite engine was introduced. It was somewhat okay at the time, but after 2021 and now 2022 are completely unusable.) If it's the best option, you can either stay in the 2020 version or choose the 2018 or 2019 version and wait. To be exact, a lot of people have been waiting. Hoping that this slowness will improve, However, those who apply to corporate licenses must be forced to use the new version. And all of the versions that are licensed now are slow and work efficiency is very much less efficient. In a task that takes 10 minutes, a delay of 1 to 2 seconds is accumulated and included, so it is often 20 minutes. This is a really big problem... ... View more

Maybe Adobe will suggest this way to you. 1. Turn off G-sync 2. Disable GPU 3. Turn off Multi thread or GPU Comp. 4. Turn off Native Ruller, Native canvas   Unfortunately, these problems often appear to me, and there was no way to solve them. There are a lot of delays and various bugs happening in the Photoshop version this year, including the twitching shown in your video....   Let's wait together. This is not our fault. It's not a computer specification issue, it's not an OS issue.... ... View more

omg Hasn't this problem been solved yet? As far as I remember, this inconvenient problem has occurred since 2018. Some people have said that the problem is a specific symptom that only occurs on high-density displays(hidpi), but it is not. Also its not abut OS problem. Something changed...No one knows, and don't know when, but... Something's broken. In the past, there was no such inconvenience when working on precise Dodge Burn. ... View more

@faith32too  The 2019 version is not really a bad choice. 2018 is more optimized, but it's a fairly stable and fast version. Cheer up. Adobe will fix it someday.   @tpuskas  Same problem. And native canvas thing is one of the ways to try and my team and I have already tried. The problem is not solved, especially the delay of the liquify is serious. Turning off GPU-related options or disabling any options in Photoshop to fix the bug is not really the right way to deal with it. We need to be able to use it as it is, and the lag in canvas zoom and liquify zoom is a delay from a code error. Keep it as it is. Disabling an option and experiencing discomfort is not the right solution. Waiting for Adobe to fix it... (Photoshop 2020 21.0.3 This version has no problems with zoom and delay.) ... View more

@karwaiwesley  There was no update in the first place.(Current version is 23.3.1.) And my team and I have tested it and the problem remains the same. Nothing change And this bug has been around for quite some time. In my personal opinion, next year's photoshop version will reflect bug fixes. It's an old bug.   ... View more

@karwaiwesley  How to disable something is no longer the solution. And if Disabling GPU acceleration causes more problems elsewhere. I know what you say, But there's nothing we can do. You must not change any options. keep them. The broken one needs to be repaired, and we need to be able to use our computer specifications as they are. Adobe's code is broken, so they'll fix it if you wait.   ... View more

@greg-ory  I saw your writing well. Thank you for sharing your experience. What are your computer specifications? And what is the size of the image you usually work on? I usually work on photos with a minimum size of 6000~7000px, and in 16bit and 20 to 30 layers. I also don't have much delay in small-sized photographs(2000~3000px), or in normaly vector-based work. I'm curious.   @vicki degruy  I'm experiencing inconvenience like you and I feel sorry for you. Today, I instructed my team member to test Photoshop again with a new overclocking system. I don't know if it works well in the environment we work in... And Same result, same issue. About Maybe 5years ago?, working on large-sized images in Photoshop with a much worse computer used to exponentially increase CPU usage (70 to 80 percent share). AND Despite such high CPU usage, there was no such delay. It's just that the computer's fans are working hard. lol But Both CPU and GPU are currently underutilized. They's very relaxed. All the computers on our team that I tested... It's a very pleasant situation. The specification of the computer is sufficient. But Photoshop doesn't use that much performance. o I used to look for ways to force the CPU or GPU to be activated more and allocate it to Photoshop, but the results were unchanged...   And some people say that. "Use the old version." If you enjoy Photoshop alone at home and work individually, the offer is valid and fine. However, due to Adobe's licensing policy for companies, we inevitably have to use the latest version. Even if you want to use the old version, you can't use it. We are using the current version of 23.3.1 in tears, and I hope Adobe will consider this licensing policy. It's hard to wait for updates when you can't do this or that.   PS : btw, My other teams work with 3D CGI as well as video work. This is a problem only with Photoshop. Photoshop also experiences delays on computers with more demanding and heavier tasks.   ... View more

@greg-ory  Various lags in Photoshop have come with various updates. Acutally, There were many changes in the comfort of the work when it changed from CS version to CC version, but it was not that bad. And as time went by, the computer specifications of Adobe customers got better. And the 2015.5 version of Photoshop is actually the last time we were able to photoshop comfortably.   Until 2018 version was okay. However, since the introduction of a new development composite engine in 2019, everything began to be delayed from the canvas inside Photoshop. Of course, it wasn't a big delay from the beginning. But for those who have been using Photoshop for a long time, it's an intrusive delay. And many problem was start.....(Zoom lag, Select and Mask freeze, Cursor too thin, over 30+layer in16bit incredibly slow... etc) In fact, the bug above has not been fixed yet. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-weird-brush-size-animation-very-slow-using-keyboard-windows/idc-p/12765175/page/2#M48373 For example, the thread of the link was also uploaded by me, and that problem was a problem that many people have experienced since the 2017 version of Photoshop, and it was fixed not long ago. lol   Most of the 2020 versions of Photoshop were stable.(It's not as pleasant, light, and accurate as it was in the past, but there were still a lot of delays.)   But... Since 2021 again, the interval between delays has been shortened, and the feeling of delays themselves has become very heavy again.   So, What I want to say is this. It is true that there is an improvement in speed with the introduction of multi-threads and GPU composite. However, If the original speed was a sports car, now it's walking speed. This is not a matter of computer specifications, nor is it a matter of system OS differences. Hundreds of computers and hundreds of team members shared information. It's a problem that comes from Photoshop engine processing, so it's not something that can be solved simply by something like native canvas on/off or gp turn on/off thing.(Btw, In fact, it is also strange that some options should be turned off to improve the problem.)   Anyway... I hope it gets fixed soon...   ...

And it's true that 8 bits have less delay than 16 bits. But it's also very slow and difficult when there are more than 20 layers. If you open the task manager, my Cpu, Ram, and gpu are very relaxed.

However, you must preserve the job history. I think it's ridiculous to tell my client that we need to work on it again from the beginning because that part is a Photoshop issue.
